Bond valuation and yield to maturity Personal Finance Problem Mark Goldsmith's broker has shown him two bonds issued by different companies. Each has a maturity of 5 years, a par
value of $1,000, and a yield to maturity of 7.90%. The first bond is issued by Crabbe Waste Disposal and has a coupon interest rate of 6.317% paid annually. The second bond, issued by
Malfoy Enterprises, has a coupon interest rate of 8.90% paid annually.
a. Calculate the selling price for each of the bonds.
b. Mark has $20,000 to invest. If he wants to invest only in bonds issued by Crabbe Waste Disposal, how many of those bonds could he buy? What if he wants to invest only in bonds issued
by Malfoy Enterprises?
c. What is the total interest income that Mark could earn each year if he invested only in Crabbe bonds? How much interest would he earn each year if he invested only in Malfoy bonds?
d. Assume that Mark will reinvest all the interest he receives as it is paid and that his rate of return on the reinvested interest will be 9%. Calculate the total dollars that Mark will accumulate
over 5 years if he invests in Crabbe bonds or Malfoy bonds. Your total calculation will include the interest Mark gets, the principal he receives when the bonds mature, and all the additional
interest he earns from reinvesting the coupon payments he receives.
e. The bonds issued by Crabbe and Malfoy might appear to be equally good investments because they offer the same yield to maturity of 7.90%. Notice, however, that your answers to part d
are not the same for each bond, suggesting that one bond is a better investment than the other. Why is that the case?
a. The selling price for the Crabbe Waste Disposal bond is $. (Round to the nearest cent.)
